That’s amazing!

Thank you so much for your insight! Water is definitely something that I am working on. I'm going to increase my intake and make sure that I always have water with me. I'm confused that you mentioned that my intake is a bit low. I was actually concerned that it might be high for only being 5 months out. I've been paranoid that's what has caused my stall. Where do you think my intake should be at? Or were you talking about a macro specifically? I'm down over 80 pounds overall, so I'm definitely proud of that! I'm just still not where I want to be and a bit concerned that this stall is lasting longer than the others. I do have hormonal issues as well, and I'm hoping they won't lead to any gain. I have been in contact with my nutritionist and surgeon, but it's been a bit since I reached out. I had my surgery in Mexico, so I don't have a doctor that I follow up with here, just my family doctor. I tried IF before my surgery, as well as a full ketogenic diet but it didn't work well for me then. There were too many fats and my body didn't digest them well. Do you think IF would be a good idea with my calories where they are?

Sorry for not sharing more info! I had the gastric sleeve on April 18th of this year, so 5 months out on the 18th. My water intake varies. I did have a week or two there where it was very low and I had to step it up. I feel like that may have been one of the causes of the stall but now I'm back up to about 64 ounces a day, just water alone. I also have a lot of other fluids but I don't track them as water. Typical calorie intake varies from 600-1200. Average days are between 800-1000. I keep my carbs below 70 and don't consume sugar. My minimum protein goal is 70g, which I meet daily with very few days being under. I used a BMR calculator and got 1,836 calories per day. HW: 320 SW: 295 CW: 239 I am nervous that this could be caused by inactivity, as I had a herniated disk in my back that made it so I was unable to walk for about 2 months. I'm working on it now and am starting a workout routine today.

I have been stalled for he past week or two. This seems to be my longest stall yet. Every time I stalled before, I would carb cycle and start losing again, but not this time. I feel like the loss is over. I know that’s dramatic, but any tips on how to get it going again?
